Definitions
- the present disclosure is directed to a wireless communication device and method, and particularly for ones using energy storage devices.
- Wireless computing devices may provide multiple operational modes of varying importance to the user, each operational mode having active and idle states.
- a wireless computing device may have wide area communication modes which are of high importance, having active states such as phone calling, uploading and downloading of data, etc, and idle states in which the device simply monitors the wide area network for incoming messages or controls.
- the wireless computing device may also have operating modes of lesser importance such as local area communications, personal area communications, games, media players, etc., which also have active and idle states.
- the importance of the operational mode may be inherent to the operational mode, or a matter of a user's personal preference. The importance may also be dependant on the recent state of the operational mode.
- Wireless computing devices such as mobile devices, operate with a limited energy supply, such as a battery, fuel cell or the like. While the energy supply is generally rechargeable, it may not always be convenient or even possible for a user to recharge the energy supply. Accordingly, there is a need to maximize the useful time of device operation. Thus, there is a need for disabling of operational modes, in order to conserve energy or prolong useful battery life. For a mobile computing device having several operational modes, this disabling may not be convenient or easy for a user. There is a need for a method and device for automatically disabling operational modes, for example, according to its importance and recent state. [0004] Thus, there is a need for a method and device for prolonging the useful life of an energy storage device in wireless communication devices.

If yes, proceed to step 420, where both mode timer and idle timer is set. Continuing down the "yes" path, proceed to step 425 where the mode timer is started. In decision box 430, the inquiry is: Is data transmitting or being received? If yes, proceed to step 435 where the idle timer is reset. Continuing down this path will lead to decision box 440.

- the result of decision box 740 is 'yes' and the flow proceeds to step 745 in which the T(m) is reset to zero.
- decision box 750 the inquiry is whether the energy state has changed due to the device powering on, being removed from a charger, finishing charging, or any other change which is not due to the normal depletion of the energy from normal device operation. If the result of decision box 750 is 'y es ' > then the flow returns to box 705, and if the result is no then it returns to decision box 730.
